U.S. Treasury yields tumbled on market expectations that U.S. consumer prices will come down close to the Federal Reserve’s inflation target.
The yield on 10-year Treasury notes fell 17.9 basis points to 2.795%, while the two-year yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, slid 19.4 basis points to 2.733%. Both were at four-week lows.
